Your eyes don't deceive you, there is no Week Two. I was sick as a dog, so we will just pretend that week never happened. Week one's challenges are ever pervasive - in my efforts of gluten-free eating, I have had some good finds and some not so good. I found really good battered fish at Whole Foods, for example, but possibly the worst macaroni and cheese ever. I also found Betty Crocker gluten-free devil's food cake mix which I will be making for my one-year wedding anniversary next week. Yes, he has put up with me for a year, believe it or not, but that's a different entry.
I did pretty well avoiding beef and dairy, but there are just some things you have to have a pat of butter with. I tried an almond milk chocolate pudding that would have worked if I hadn't messed up adding the last two ingredients, so I will try it again and if it works, I will post the recipe. It tasted delicious but didn't set; however, it made a great breakfast drink with some banana and peanut butter.
This week's goal will be to tackle my pop addiction. If I don't watch it, I think nothing of drinking four Dr. Peppers a day, and that's really bad. The sugar, caffeine, food color and additives are terrible for you. I have decided to allow myself one pop on school nights (Mondays and Wednesdays) and one on Fridays since I have lunch with friends on Fridays. We'll see how it goes. I'm jonesing pretty bad right now, but am drinking water instead. Wish me luck. I am feeling better already.
Note: I just had Amy's Rice Mac & Cheese for lunch and it was delicious! Not dairy free, but after last night's debacle, I don't care!
